  • Tension and Compression Asymmetry and the Bauschinger Effect
    TENSILE TESTING Tension and Compression Asymmetry and the Bauschinger Effect APRIL 2021 1 Plastometrex Tension/Compression Asymmetry and the Bauschinger Effect TENSION/COMPRESSION ASYMMETRY AND THE BAUSCHINGER EFFECT Testing in (uniaxial) compression is sometimes an attractive alternative to tensile testing. Specimens can be simpler in shape and smaller, since there is no gripping requirement. The key question is whether corresponding information can be obtained. In general, it can, but there is sometimes a perception that at least some materials behave differently under compression - ie that there is tensile-compressive asymmetry in their response. In fact, this is largely a myth. At least in the majority of cases, the underlying plasticity response is symmetrical. The von Mises (deviatoric) stress, which is normally taken to be the determinant of the response, is identical in the two cases. However, caveats are needed. If the material response is indeed dependent on the hydrostatic component of the stress, as it might be for porous materials and for those in which a phase transformation occurs during loading, then asymmetry is possible. Also, while the underlying plasticity response is usually the same, the compressive stress- strain curve is often affected by friction between sample and platen (leading to barreling). Conversely, the necking that may affect the tensile curve cannot occur in compression. It’s also important to distinguish the concept of tension / compression asymmetry from that of the Bauschinger effect (a sample pre- loaded in tension exhibiting a different response if then loaded in compression). Plastometrex 1 1 Tension/Compression Asymmetry and the Bauschinger Effect TENSION/COMPRESSION where these strains refer to plastic values.

The Shredder device includes hammers Shredder joined to a massive rotor. Hammers are responsible for grinding, therefore, play a key role in the Hammer shredder. Most of the casted hammers are made from austenitic manganese steel. Austenitic Austenitic manganese steels manganese steels usually have good mechanical properties at impact and wear use but in field Work hardening use as shredder hammer, they are faced to the different type of failures. Finding reasons for these Mechanical properties failures could help increasing shredding efficiency and reducing cost. In this study, several fac- Nano bainitic steel tors, such as the lack of work hardening of the as quench hammer, low yield strength and tensile strength, carbide growth at the user's temperature and stopping the work hardening at tem- peratures between 200 and 300 °C have been defined as reasons of failure. Regarding these points, castable Nano bainitic steel suggested as an alternative to the austenitic manganese steels. In file test results proved that nano bainitic steel hammers has better performance than austenitic manganese steel hammers.

  • Austenitic Manganese Steel, Called "SLL" by M.C.S.D
    WELDING OF AUSTENITIC MANGANESE STEEL Austenitic Manganese steel, called "SLL" by M.C.S.D. or Hadfield Manganese ! Steel by the materials community is an extremely tough non-magnetic alloy in which the usual hardening transformation that occurs in low alloy steel has been suppressed by the high manganese content. It is characterized by high strength, high ductility and good wear resistance. The welding of "SLL" requires considerable care. Though it is very tough, it is sensitive to reheating, so caution is necessary to avoid embrittle- ment. Arc welding is entirely practical and many tons of austenitic man- ganese steel electrodes are used annually. Experience and research have shown that the following procedures are helpful: 1. Welds in which both parts are "SLL" should be made with covered man- ganese steel electrodes that meet the requirements of AWS Spec. A5.13 Classification EFeMn-A. 2. Welds in which one part is "SLLw and the other part is carbon or low alloy steel should be made with covered stainless steel electrodes that meet the requirements of AWS Spec. A5.4 - Classification E309. 3. Never weld "SLL" with carbon or low alloy steel electrodes. 4. In manual welding, the electrode is always inclined in the direction of the weld bead travel. pushing the arc might give gassy, unsound deposits. 5. Oxy-acetylene welding of "SLL" should be avoided since it is likely to cause marked embrittlement of the base metal. 6. The energy input per inch should be kept to minimum values consistent with sound welds. 7. The maximum suggested heat input for "SLL" is 65,000 joules.

  • SANDRA SWIFT and the Land Speed Record
    Dedication It's not normally my practice to dedicate my works but, in this case, I wanted to make a special exception. This novel goes out, with the utmost respect and admiration, to a unique group of people whose number includes: Gaston de Chasseloup-Laubat Louis Rigolly Henry Segrave Sir Malcolm Campbell Craig Breedlove Donald Malcolm Campbell Tom Green Art Arfons Bob Summers Gary Gabelich Richard Noble Andy Green Edward Shadle, Keith Zanghi and the rest of the American Eagle Team And, finally, to George Harrison! ("He's the Master of Going Faster") Chapter One: A Blast From The Past. "How fast is it going?" Brushing a bit of her hair aside, Phyllis Newton raised a hand to her forehead and peered up at the smooth contrail arcing across the blue New York sky. "Well, even with our developments in sound reduction, we usually try to comply with local regulations in regards to flights," she explained. "Even those of a test nature, so a lot of our local flights tend to be below supersonic. Most of our sustained high speed flights take place out west, at the Dryden Research Center in California. We also," she added, her smile growing, "occasionally conduct high speed test runs once our planes are out over the ocean and heading for our facility at Fearing Island." She looked back down at her audience. The thirty boys and girls from the Corning- Painted Post School District were, for the most part, following the progress of the distant aircraft. Some of them, however, were still staring around at the buildings, towers and general activity of the enormous complex which made up the grounds of Swift Enterprises.

  • Defects Evaluation on Hadfield Steel Sheets
    ® 2016 a *+ *6 */01- . - / w"#$ - 9 DEFECTS EVALUATION ON HADFIELD STEEL SHEETS ŽÁNSKÝ Ond ej, K ÍŽ Antonín Z U - University of West Bohemia, Pilsen, Czech Republic, EU [email protected] , [email protected] Abstract The key characteristic of austenitic Hadfield´s steel is its toughening (hardening) under mechanical loading (during operation). By the influence of mechanical loading austenite transformed to martensite, resulting in surface hardening (curing) with a good toughness. High abrasion resistance is the result. Due to very difficult machinability and weldability are the final products made generally of either as casting or as simple parts made of rolled sheets. This paper describes the most common faults on rolled sheets and their influence on abrasion resistance. As base for samples selection sheets of normal production were chosen on which were identified following defects: decarburized layer on surface, carbides on the grain boundaries, and martensitic structure in delivered condition before any mechanical loading. For the comparison of abrasive resistance was used test in shot blasting machine. Weight difference was evaluated on each sample. Achieved results confirmed that the samples which were grinded of (surface defects removing) have about 25 to 40 % less weight loss than the samples which were left in common delivery conditions. Keywords: Hadfield steel, X120Mn12, carbides, decarburized layer, wear resistance 1. INTRODUCTION Mangalloy, also called manganese steel or Hadfield steel, after its discoverer Sir Robert Abott Hadfield, is a steel alloy containing an average of around 13% manganese. This steel is known for its high impact strength and resistance to abrasion once in its work-hardened state.

  • Effect of Aluminum Addition on Properties of Hadfield Steel (IJSTE/ Volume 4 / Issue 11 / 009)
    IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 4 | Issue 11 | May 2018 ISSN (online): 2349-784X Effect of Aluminum Addition on Properties of Hadfield Steel Chintan Miyani U.G. Student RNGPIT (FETR), Isroli-Bardoli, Gujarat, India Abstract Many studies about Hadfield steel (high Manganese austenitic steels) have been done and it was found that there are some unique characteristics of Hadfield steel which makes it more applicable. The present investigation is directed towards the effects of Aluminum addition on properties of Hadfield steel. Aluminum is added to Hadfield steel as an alloying element and different test specimens with different composition of aluminum have been examined by means of microstructure, grain size, spectroscopy, hardness, and tensile strength. Keywords: Aluminum, Hardness, Manganese, Microstructure, Tensile ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION Hadfield manganese steel was invented by Sir Robert Hadfield in the year of 1882 and first patented in Britain in 1883 and in 1884 the patents 303150 and 303151 were granted in the United States. In accordance with ASTM - A128 specification, the basic chemical composition of Hadfield steel is 1 - 1.4% carbon and 11 - 14% manganese. In the Hadfield steel the manganese to carbon ratio is optimum at 10:1 to ensure an austenitic microstructure after quenching. [1] Manganese acts as an austenite stabilizer and delays isothermal transformation to bainite (tempered martensite). In Hadfield steel, carbon is dissolved in austenite up to a practical limit of 1.2%. Above 1.2% carbides precipitate and separation to grain boundaries, resulting in compromised strength and ductility particularly in heavy sections. Although manganese content has little effect on yield strength, it does affect ductility and ultimate tensile strength (UTS).
